Kill Doctor Lucky is a board game, best summed up as “reverse Clue/Cluedo” in the sense that the objective of Clue was to discover who the killer was, where as in KDL, the objective is to, as the title implies, kill Dr. Lucky. This story is vaguely set in the victorian era. The film follows 8 guests of the titular Dr. Lucky are invited to his mansion for a dinner party to announce his retirement. Unbeknownst to the doctor, all of his guests hold a deep grudge against him, with murderous intent. The story is told thru the perspectives of each prospective murderer, each of which do not know that the others also wish to put Dr. Lucky into an early grave, believing that all of the others are his close friends, and the finale of the film ends with the death of Dr. Lucky; however multiple endings will be shot and different viewings of the film will end with different killers having succeeded in getting away with the murder; and this is where streaming services come in, as hypothetically they can deliver different viewings to different viewers unknowingly, and only upon talking about the film to other people that saw it would they learn that there are multiple endings to be seen.
